themes for YOUR characters

[ctc]

So;

One of the writing exercises I use is to find theme songs for my characters. I try for at least three to any main character, and try to shake up style, genre, etc as much as possible. It's a good way to think through your character and maybe get a different take on 'em.

I was thinking about this today 'cos I finally got the new TSO album ("Night Castle") and the song "Sparks" would be a perfect theme for Gi. (She's the one with the pointy hair that's worked her way into a few posts now....)

Anyone else ever done this? Or wanna try it now?

I think just About Anything from Metallica from Kill em All to Justice would work for me .... & Then Pantera's Cowboy's from Hell song works well as well.

This is Circus Envy:


Here I am with Circus Envy and Elvira's Twin during a convention appearance a few years back:


Here I am as Circus Envy just outside of Nashville for a White Wolf function:


He was created by writer Scott Courson, he and I worked together closely on the first story and I am the artist for Circus Envy and Scary Pup Productions. We lovingly like to refer to it as "The Crow with lovehandles".

The short film is filming currently in and around the Atlanta area.

Three songs? That's easy for Circus Envy!

Some Velvet Morning--Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood

A Lap Dance is So Much Better When The Stripper is Crying--Bloodhound Gang (This song may easily offend some)

Mad World--Gary Jules

If you want to see more Circus Envy art there's some of the concept art and script book stuff over on my Deviant Art page linked in my sig.

Now...if I could just get a custom Circus Envy Mego....talk about a dream come true!

^^^ You Could Start with the 1 Clown from CTVT AS a pretty damn good base for your characters Head.


Man ..., That Elvira Double is Scary to Me ...
She is so Flipp'in Tall ..., which could be cool ..., Because them Boobies look like they are right in your Face ..., But Man ...., Her Face So looks Like a Dude ...., which totally takes away from the idea of the Boobs being in one's face. Kinda Confused here ....

Well, HE is 7 ft 4 in the heels and dress.



Another pic of Envy and I from a convention appearance last year:


He's one of my best friends, actor, impersonator, and makeup artist, Patterson Lundquist. He's been doing Elvira (not like that silly!) for over ten years now and has appeared with her on television shows and worked for and with her over the years, sometimes, even in place of her! Being with him in costume is just like being with her. Heck, it's even better! Try eating tiny cheeseburgers with Elvira in a parked car outside a Steak and Shake at 4 am. One of my fondest memories I must say.

Never heard of circus envy before?
Looks like a totally cool character though and you should make a custom figure!!!

Thanks! We're just now rolling on the short film. We should have a decent presence this year at a few conventions and be getting the word out more.
